So young Joel suggests in his comment to my blog entry entitled "Pencil me in", that I accept meetings with a response of "tentative" in order to mess with people's heads.
I suppose Joel could be right. In a world where the folks at the bottom don't have as much control over their work lives as they might like, it's only natural to throw a few shoes in the gears once in a while. Maybe the "tentative" response is my way of exerting subtle control, and being a jerk. It's a pretty benign act if you ask me. I don't think I would consciously do that, but I'll accept Joel's thesis in light of not really having a better explanation.

I've always found it strange how corporate calendaring works -- that someone can take away an hour / 2 hours / An entire day of your life on their whim. That you have no control over your own destiny.
I didn't ask for that meeting.
